For the longest time I'd read other blogs in envy. How did these women always manage to find such great buys at Goodwill, yard sales, thrift shops and flea markets? I always felt like a failure as I walked away empty-handed time after time after time.
Well friends, I finally feel like my fortune has changed! Lately it seems, that almost every time I walk into Goodwill, I walk out with a great buy or two!
I have to be honest, it's such a rush! And it makes me giddy with excitement, too. :)
Here's what I've found lately.....
Antique birdhouse, $3.99
Gorgeous wood mirror, $8.99
(somebody screwed some ugly hooks onto the bottom of it, that I easily removed)
Vintage-looking lantern, $2.99
And my big splurge/steal/buy this week....?
This!
I found this baby at Goodwill for $30. It matches our nursery furniture perfectly and there's not a scratch or blemish on her! She came with other cushions, but I switched them out for these, which we all ready had on hand. I'm so excited to rock our new baby in this great glider! :)
Have you made any great finds lately?

P.S. I'm linking up with Linda at Coastal Charm today.
SO jealous of your glider find! What a steal! :) That will be the ONE thing we invest in when baby #2 happens ... our current one is so beat up!
ReplyDeletelove the chair, I've been thinking of getting one, but not sure I want to spend ~$200 on a chair that I don't have room for anyways. Maybe I should check the local thrift store.
